Rare disease.

12 August, 2017

In the world there are a great many different human diseases, but only some of them are extremely rare.Some of them, mostly highly infectious practically disappeared due to the efforts of medicine.The others - are genetic diseases are usually incurable.The rare disease causes a person to adapt to life.Consider the most unusual diseases.

Polio

Due to mandatory vaccinations, it is now extremely rare viral disease.Ill they mainly live in developing countries with weak medicine.Poliovirus affects motor neurons of the spinal cord, leading to muscle wasting and flaccid paralysis.It flows with a high fever, an extremely high mortality rate.

Most survivors remain disabled for life.Treatment of rare diseases as polio rather complicated process.Simply prevent disease.

Progeria

It is a rare genetic disease, which manifests itself in an unnaturally rapid aging.There are adult and children's versions of the disease.Statistics reported one case of four million.The pathology of the disease follows the natu

ral aging of the picture, but accelerated many times.

Sick children per year of life in the age of 10-15 years at once.They bring a lot of trouble such rare disease.Photos of patients you can see in this article.

first symptoms of progeria child becomes a second or third year of baby's life.At this time, the child stops growing, it thins the skin, greatly increases the head.Progeria debut in adults aged 30-40 years.

Disease Fields

Perhaps the rarest diseases in the world.In the history of medicine has been described one such case every two patients.Ill juveniles twin sisters by the name Fields, living in England.

disease manifests gradual loss of control over voluntary movements due to a defect in the muscle tissue.As the disease progresses, patients increasingly dependent on the help of others and wheelchair, completely lose the ability of independent travel.

Progressive fibrodisplations (Disease Myunheymera)

The disease is extremely rare, the statistics speaks about one case for two million.The underlying genetic mutation that leads to the development of congenital abnormalities.It appears the curvature of the fingers and toes, spine and other bone disorders.For this disease is characterized by the unnatural proliferation of bone, soft tissue regeneration in bone.Any injury gives rise to the formation of new bone growth focus.

very difficult when so manifest rare disease people.Photo shows the look of a sick man.

Doctors have not yet come up with ways to cure the sick.Surgical removal of bone tumors leads to the opposite effect, stimulating new growth areas.These very rare disease scare, but ill try to live.

disease Kuru is extremely rare, but very dangerous contagious disease.The infectious agent - Prions are proteins with the wrong spatial structure.Once in the body, the prion moves to the brain.There's an infectious agent violates the spatial structure of neighboring proteins, leading to programmed cell death.And in place of the dead nerve cells are formed cavities - vacuole.

disease is accompanied by serious disturbances of the nervous system, and inevitably leads to death.Kuru was distributed in New Guinea among the tribes of cannibals, and infection occurs after the ritual eating of human brain.Currently cannibalism almost came to naught, and the number of new cases is extremely small.Well, that rarely encountered such a rare disease.List and description of the others look below in the article.

Lines Blashko

Skin Syndrome is named after the German dermatologist Alfred Blashko, who described the first cases of the disease.Lines Blashko represent a pattern of stripes and swirls, programmed in the genome of each individual.Normally the lines are not visible, but are beginning to appear in some endocrine disorders.Sick babies are born with visible stripes.

micropsia

neurological disorder manifested in the distortion of visual perception.Patients perceive the objects of the world reduced to a few times, misjudge the distance between objects.

Disease violates not only the visual perception, but also the sense of touch and hearing.The patient may not even recognize her body.By mikrolepsii leading organic brain damage or drug use.This rare disease creates a lot of problems to the sick person.

Syndrome blue leather

Skin gets blue or purple color, which generally does not affect the state of health, however, adversely affect the appearance.The disease is genetic and inherited.People are hard to find in society, as they are constantly paying attention.

Despite the fact that patients with mental retardation, they are able to learn how to pronounce some words, and listening to understand a few more.

porphyria (a disease of the vampire)

As a result of the genetic fault the skin of patients with different extreme sensitivity to ultraviolet radiation.From sunlight the skin begins to itch, burst, covered with oozing sores and scars.Inflammation affects not only the skin surface, but also cartilage.To bend the ears, nose and nails, which are similar to the claws of the beast.

leaving home patients prefer at night when there is no sun.Rare diseases people cause discomfort in patients and the people who surround them.But at the same time it is important not to despair.

mermaid syndrome

This genetic glitch manifested physical defect, in which children are born with jointed legs.In addition, infants observed pathology of the internal organs, which causes high mortality.

always shock the rarest diseases in the world.Especially if the disease manifested at birth.

hyperreflexia

Docked state anti-anxiety drugs, reduces the excitability of the nervous system.

allergic to electromagnetic fields

first cases of the disease were recorded after a person's life are firmly electrical and electronic products.While in the area of ​​the electromagnetic field, patients complain of worsening health, ringing in the ears, headache, nausea.

Some patients have to completely abandon the appliances.

Although rare diseases suffer from a small number of people, medicine continues to look for new ways of treatment.In many countries there are special programs that are actively exploring the rarest diseases in the world.
